Yes, the Wii U has external storage support, that's not the point, I'm just laughing because they did not even bother with a semblance of internal storage. Releasing a console that fills up in memory after a single hardware update on day 1 is basically saying ya we transferred the cost of more storage to you, we ignored it.

No reason to even consider the 8GB unless you absolutely have to have a white console. I'll wait for my 32GB's memory to fill up and then get an external hard drive down the road. Memory is only going to get cheaper.

I'm on mah 3rd Xbox 360 HDD...STFU bruh. If you're a real gamer, you end up fillin up whateva amount of gigs yo launch console came wit. Had to get dat 320GB one so I ain't even mad dat I might have to upgrade mah Wii later on...It's what companies do.

You don't think its BS that a launch day update takes up the majority of a hard drive? The average consumer wont even know to get extra hard drives. This is a major misstep from Nintendo.

If you don't understand how this would be bad for business when they say they want a large part of their market to be digital sales I have no idea what to say to you.

I don't care about da "average consumer" bruh. I know mah shit n I don't mind droppin some money for more space. Dat's it. They could've put more space, sure but den I'd have to buy more space in a year instead of now...Which is all da same to me bruh.

I'm saying this is bad business. You have to accept that you're in the minority with your attitude to add-ons. I know you don't mind, and I probably wont either whenever I get a WiiU.

Not really, I've had the 120GB 360 since launch and I've never really come close to filling it up. Most of the time if I'm around like 80GBs it's because I have a shitload of demos that I am too lazy to delete. 32GB is just too damned low in this day and age, it's crazy how cheap Nintendo is, 32GB should not be the biggest option.

Yeah this was pretty much what I was driving at. Especially with the emphasis on digital distribution. Its not in the interest of Nintendo or the consumer to have a maximum of 32GB.

Had it come with more storage, its still transferring the cost to you.

This way you at least have options, or you can decide to wait until SD cards/HDDs become even cheaper, since they drop so quickly.

I understand its an inconvenience having to make two purchases, but in reality, it saves the smart consumer money

20GB was pretty good 7 years ago. PS3/360 come with absurdly sized drives these days and honestly the Wii U should have came with at least 120GB.

Most drives come formatted in the newer NTFS format. FAT is an older file system, so you would have to either get a new drive or find a new home for what's on that one before changing the file system. You could move the stuff back on there after the format but be aware FAT can't have a file over 2GB in size, so if you're storing HD videos or whatever on there it'd be pointless to do.
